Ensuring the safety of every young person in our care is central to everything we do. To make your planning as simple as possible, we’ve created this section to guide you through the paperwork required for your next ski tour, with clear support at each stage.

SkiBound is committed to helping you complete your risk assessments efficiently and with confidence. Our qualified staff carry out safety audits on all the key components of your chosen ski and snowboard tour.

These audits cover accommodation, transportation, and après-ski activities, ensuring your trip runs smoothly from start to finish.Our Safety Management System fully complies with the guidelines set out by the School Travel Forum (STF) and is externally verified annually by independent experts. This rigorous framework is designed to make your ski trip safer and to make your own risk assessment process more straightforward.

Your role as party leader

Your task is to assess the risks that relate specifically to your group and to manage them using your own personalised Risk Assessment document. This helps you identify practical ways to reduce any highlighted risks and may be required by your Local Education Authority to approve your school trip.

We understand that assessing risks for a ski tour involving young people can feel like a significant undertaking, but it shouldn’t deter you from offering an exciting and safe experience. Our team is always available to talk through the details of your tour and support you at every stage.
